[PNG] Meeting topics - Oct 30th, 2023

Hello everyone,

Our next meeting is this coming Monday at 11am Eastern.

Richard Geldreich and Stephanie Hurlburt from Binomial are joining us. You
might know them from their previous work on Basis, the GPU texture format &
codec which bridged the gap between block compression (found in GPU texture
compression) and stream compression (like deflate).

I am elated to have them on board. I think having GPU-minded people will
help PNG push the future. But GPU-minded AND world-leading compression
experts?! We couldn't have been more lucky.

In our meeting, I'll let them introduce themselves and briefly discuss what
they would like to see in the Fourth Edition of the PNG spec.

Speaking of, the new PNG WG charter has gone through
<https://www.w3.org/Graphics/PNG/png-2023.html>. A Fourth Edition is
officially on the roadmap!

But phew, we're not there yet. I would love for Chris Lilley to discuss
what we need to wrap up Third Edition and then for us to plan how we're
going to do that.

See you all Monday!
